the weather for today is porous walker
last night i headed down to the low gallery (14th & guerrero) to check out porous walker's show. i have been a huge fan of his stuff for a very long time!!! my total favorite was the $5 bill zine, until tonight. i was particularly excited about the prospect of his show since porous lives in napa, so i don't see him very often. in fact, i prolly haven't seen him in about 6-8 months; how sad. his work, however, made me SO HAPPY! i just felt really light and laugh-y on the inside to read/look at all that stuff he produced. i wish i'da taken a large picture, so you could see the burt reynolds poster in the background. i just got all caught up...
i don't know if you can read ^it^ or not, but it says at the top sometimes it is ok to lie, and the one guy is saying to the other, have you seen my red cell phone? i think i left it right here. LOL!
^this^ is a bad blogger pict. somehow i lopped off the head of the pegacorn frame...yuk-yuk. i still like this one of drew barrymore is a boob chin though...there were so many good ones!!!! i didn't take a pict of mine, but i will when i hang it up. it'll be a suprise like that!
i'm also going to be making some rainbow socks for porous!!! i'm wondering if i can overcome my laziness to do ones with toes for him (cuz that means weaving in all those ends). or what about toeless sox; a new take on fingerless gloves? here we are posing with the outline of his foot, which will be crucial in assisting me to knit said sox. yup-yup. i was telling nathalie(who i guess i just missed at the gallery) last weekend that i actually use the outline of her foot to make my sox, cuz we have the same size feet.
i was happy to see there were lots of other fine folks at the gallery when i got there.
isaac was outside waving his freak flag high...
lisa and ert of the-lovely-furry-orange-scarf were there, and of course the main low man, john(who looks so intense here, doesn't he?)
mr. recordcollector and dave p. (not only 2ce in one week, but 2 nites in a row!!!) here are taking full advantage of the kick-ass popcorn machine porous brought to his show. porous knows how to do up a gig right.
AND THERE WERE MINI CANS OF SODA!!!! ert was so rad to display them so nicely for my pict taking pleasure.
i went back to isaac-n-lisa's for a minute. that minute was long enough to make me HAVE TO go get rushmore immediately.
i saw, en route to the video store, that the hayes valley market gallery is having a show this saturday, august 20th, called THE MOST POWERFUL SOUND. i really like that there's a gallery in the neighborhood again, especially that it seems so co-op/diy-ish. i'm definately gonna make time to peep it.
i feel like max fisher in his barber days lately... oh brother, you so know i'm gonna go out and get the soundtrack today at lunch.

snap, we just missed eachother? Thats too bad, I was feeling very intimidated by the mini low crowd for some reason so I didnt stay long. I think that Porous Walker may have super powers, namely the ability to make himself invisable.
